We are all familiar with some of the most famous works of art hanging in museums around the world: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Claude Monet's Waterlilies and Edvard Munch's, The Scream. These iconic works not only hang in museums, but can be found on coffee mugs, t-shirts, note cards and even underwear!
Your task for this next binder assignment is to choose a famous work of art (you can pick a famous painting of your choice ) and MODERNIZE IT!
- Choose a famous work of art
- Decide how you want to MODERNIZE it.
- Try to replicate the painting using pencil, colored pencil, marker or paint, but instead of just recreating the work of art as you see it, ADD or MODIFY the painting to look modern.
- Be creative! What can you do to change the work of art into a modern masterpiece?
If you are looking for a list of ideas, Google some of these paintings for inspiration:
Van Gogh's Starry Night
Lichtenstein's Crying Girl
Grant Wood's American Gothic
